About resume-version-manager
Resume Version Manager is a Claude Code skill that helps job seekers organize and track multiple resume versions around a single master resume. It solves a common and frustrating problem for people applying to many roles: not knowing which resume was sent to which company, losing track of the most recent version, or repeatedly tailoring from inconsistent base files. The core idea is a systematic approach built on one master resume as the source of truth, organized tailored versions, clear naming conventions, and a defined update workflow.
The skill lays out a master-resume concept that holds all experiences, every bullet point, and full achievement details to draw from when tailoring, along with a structured markdown template. It provides a recommended folder structure separating master, tailored (by role and industry), cover letters, and application tracking; a consistent file-naming pattern; and version categories organized by target role, industry, and seniority level. It includes an application-tracking spreadsheet layout with the fields worth recording, a step-by-step master-to-tailored workflow, guidance on when to update the master resume, several common application scenarios (similar roles, different role types, rapid volume, career transition), and a DO/DON'T best-practices list for version control.
It targets active job seekers, career changers, and anyone managing high application volume who wants to avoid version confusion and keep resumes current. This is a planning and organization reference skill: it contains no scripts and executes no commands, offering conventions, templates, and workflows rather than automation.
FAQ
When should I use this skill?
When you have multiple resume versions to manage, need to track tailored resumes, want to maintain a master resume, or are applying to many different roles. It triggers on phrases like resume versions, master resume, and track resumes.
What is a master resume?
A comprehensive document containing all your experiences, every bullet point you have written, and every achievement, project, and skill in full detail, even beyond one page. It serves as the single source of truth you pull from when tailoring for specific applications.
How does it recommend organizing files?
It provides a folder structure separating a Master folder, Tailored versions grouped by role and industry, cover letters, and an application tracker, plus a naming pattern of LastName_Role_Company_Date for tailored files.
Does it automate anything or run scripts?
No. It is a planning and organization reference with templates, naming conventions, folder structures, and workflows. It does not include scripts or execute commands; you apply the system yourself with your own document tools.
How does the master-to-tailored workflow work?
You copy the master to a new file rather than editing it, analyze the job description, select relevant bullets and the right summary version, reorder skills, add job-specific keywords, trim to length, save with the naming convention, and update the application tracker.
